Field Recording, Autoethnography, and the Entanglements of the Heard

<p>An audio paper that examines the practice of field recording and composing with field recording archives through presenting and considering an auto-ethnographic sonic arts research-creation practice. The paper presents simultaneous aural “streams of consciousness” that investigate both the proprioceptive nature of listening (and recording) as well as the dreaming research-creation mode of uncovering/speculating mythologies.</p> <p>The actions of knowledge construction and sharing through acts of sonic interventions with extant audio material, using lived experience (and its inevitable gaps) as a springboard for imagining new forms of cultural transmission is a mode of research creation that embodies entanglements with a wide range of methodologies without being constrained by conventional definitions of what constitutes “acceptable” forms traditional research, and will find resonance with a wide range of research fields. </p>
